THE fashion industry should not ignore older people. Ari Cohen, founder and editor of Advanced Style blog, embraces and celebrates ageing by taking street-style snaps of people of 50 and older. He describes his blog as "proof from the wise and silver-haired set that personal style advances with age". Cohen takes his pictures on New York's streets, pavements and parks using as his muses dapper gentlemen and ladies in crisp classic ensembles. Some of his subjects also sport eccentric and outlandish outfits. Grey is the new blonde. Visit advancedstyle.blogspot.com. - Refilwe Boikanyo
